Glam up your kitchen this Diwali

New Delhi: People always end up spring-cleaning the drawing room or bedrooms around festive time. Try doing up the kitchen this season with fancy and colourful kitchenware and appliances available in a wide range.

Brands like Arttd`inox and Fisher & Paykel have introduced a new variety of tableware, cookware and home decor range to give a new look and makeover to the cooking space.

"A kitchen has turned out to be the showpiece zone in any home. People just love to furnish and decorate their kitchens to make these places look better and efficient," Sanjeev Wadhwa, country manager, Fisher & Paykel, told IANS.

The brand manufactures and markets innovative household appliances, and for the season has introduced a new range of companion products, which includes steam oven, coffee maker, combo microwave oven and compact oven.

"These days, the trend is more of having kitchenware concealed in the cabinets so that kitchen becomes a part or gets integrated with the living spaces. People prefer having built-in or integrated appliances in their kitchen," he added.

The price range of their products vary from electric cooktops starting at Rs.30,000 to a CoolDrawer priced at Rs.2,25,000.

"This festive season we are offering products that are innovative in terms of a perfect blend of traditional with contemporary. The combination of colourful designs and Indian motifs, keeping the global usage in mind, we feel are in very much in trend this festive season for kitchenware," Deepika Jindal, managing director, JSL Lifestyle Limited, told IANS.

The brand has come up with a couple of items including T-lite holders, candle holders, puja thalis, and small gift items in serve ware.

"We have our own set of in-house designers, who study trends, do research on market demand before launching any product. We study international brands and keep a tab on what`s coming out globally to give our customers what they want and would like to see," she added.

The price range of the products starts from Rs.500 and goes up to Rs.27,000 for over six categories of designer stainless steel products for the home.
